Friday Five

1. Is it just me, or is December flying by? Actually, this whole year has flown by, but I'm starting to feel the crunch. For those of you who have asked, my father in law is now out of the ICU, he was transferred this week to a rehab facility. He has a long road ahead of him, and we're still taking things day by day, but we're hopeful for his recovery.

2.That said, we got some good news this week, our trip to Disney is back on!

I'm so excited to take the kids to Disney, we're not going to tell about the trip until we're in the car going to the airport. Eliza is going to lose her mind, I want to take her to one of those "Breakfast with the Princess" type things.

3. I have so much shopping to do. I know what I need to get, it's just that the list is loooong, and I have to get a few more things for the kids. Luke could use a new bedspread, his bed is like a nest, he sleeps with about four extra blankets because he gets cold easily. I was looking at childrens duvet covers, Santa might have to bring him a nice new one.

4. There is a new race on the Syracuse calendar for 2012, the Lake Effect Half Marathon, on February 25th, it's put on by the club I used to run with. I'm considering it, but February in Syracuse means snow and cold, I'm okay with running four miles in weather like that, not sure about 13 miles though.

5. Thanks to everyone who entered the Collagen Sport Giveaway, I used random.org to choose the winner, and it is Penny, the Pink Hat Runner.....congrats!

So great to hear about your FIL!! I hope his recovery continues smoothly.

WOOHOOOOOO Disney!!! I'm kind of a Disney professional... if you need any tips, let me know ;). For a Princess Breakfast, I'd really recommend Akerhaus in EPCOT. We love it, and we plan on going with our Make a Wish trip. HAVE FUN!

Bedspreads... we all have comforters from Ikea. We love them, but I have no idea how they'd hold up in the for real cold.

RE: Disney... you probably know this already but you'll want to be sure to make a reservation for your breakfast as far in advance as possible. My in laws are "experts" at the Disney thing and they always do all the meal reservations far, far, FAAARRRR in advance so they (we) don't end up eating hot dogs and fries for the whole trip. Good luck!

So glad to hear that your father in law is out of ICU and doing a little better. It will be a long road, but he's making good progress. Will continue to keep him, and your whole family, in my thoughts!!!
